Second set cooks. The Shakedown opener is of course featured on Road Trips 1.1. It also ranks second on headyversion, topped only by 6/30/85. My recent
...
vote for 10/25 hopefully inches it to the top. At any rate, this Shakedown, Passenger, Estimated-Eyes, great stuff, and the drums/space continues the awesome weirdness that gets started with the transition into drums. It's almost like it's actually a transition into space then drums. On the other end, out of it all comes a beautiful Stella Blue, followed by standard closing material, Good Lovin' then encore, US Blues.

Subject: Top sets from landmark tour
Though the best 2nd set was two shows later, this is the best 1st set of the hot Fall '79 tour. The 2nd set adds big highlights and passages, presenting ... one of the tour's best shows (with 10/31). This show has been known for the immense Shakedown, but there's so much more here. The second set is longish, @ 1:45. The first set is AUD-only, and the ambient noise and space is high, relative to the PA, stripping Heads to the keener among us.
First Set. Bangin', immediate launch with a Dough Knees that kicks and bucks. The shortened Cassidy is fine, but not as limber as the shiny Peggy-O. The scale is widened further for a tightened Brown Eyed Women, gone through in a stellar dash. The rest is the plat principal, and the boys have a licence to crenelate. It's All Over Now goes places and by Tennessee Jed they can't miss a pitch. The mixed metaphors drive on through Deal, a whirlwind that leaves 'em thrilled for the break.
Second Set. Much has already been said about this Shakedown. But it's unfortunate that GDP released a SBD from the set we already have on SBD. It's a good version, but it's actually not the 17min barnburner that would come days later on Halloween. Passenger however is a tour best. Pinwheels of colors emerge by the end. Even Jer is satisfied. RT1-1 should have left this on, instead of segueing away. Friend of the Devil is perfectly rendered and somehow excites Billy enough to smash a head. It's a tight Estimated, if rather straightforward - until the super jam (blips 0:45>1:00 on the Miller sources). The solidness continues for Eyes. Great, but nothing too gobsmacking...until Phil devolves it into a one of a kind jam. Brent adds synth bombs and it passes into Drums. An 18min+ Eyes. Space is short and the rest of the set is average '79, though the end jam for Stella is nice.
1st Set: B+
2nd Set: B-
Overall = 4 stars
Highlights:
Don't Ease Me In - what a start
Brown Eyed Women - stellar in a dash
Tennessee Jed - can't miss a pitch/swing for the fence
Deal - whirlwind leaves 'em thrilled
Passenger - pinwheels of colors
Friend of the Devil - excites Billy
Estimated Prophet - tight into nice jam
Eyes of the World - end jam is one of a kind
SOURCES: The miller_22311 uses the uses Jools AUD for the 1st set, but it's pitched too fast. The miller_93143 uses a less-crispy AUD; less chatter and noise. The miller_22792 is better still, updating to a better source for the 1st set, and the 2nd set is patched (but runs a bit slow, needing +1%). The miller sources have blips in Estimated, so maybe try the fishman_21271 for that. Road Trips 1-1 has Shakedown, but it's pitched even slower and needs +2%.

I agree that second set is pretty hot. The shakedown is amazingly funky and has a great jam. The electronics that Phil did that night (I was there) shook
...
your organs inside your body. He also conjures up a pretty demented set of bass chords; like some kind of horrifying alien communication. This is a great quality tape.
The Stella was a nice way to come out of space. Its a good version but not stellar. Then the set turns to the usual Bobby rock-out which I usually shut off.
